Homecoming for the Robert F. Munroe Day School Bobcats saw a stadium full of fans and alumni, the crowning of Adrianne Woodward as the queen and a pep band that kept the spirits high from start to finish. It was a grand atmosphere and a great night for football and reunions, especially the RFM Class of 1989. There was only one problem: the victory went to the visitors from Bronson.

In the regular season finale that was also senior night for two starting players, Spenser Morris and Adrianne Woodward, the Lady Cats took Rickards in three straight games to win their 17th match of the season.

Munroe was led by Morris and Georgie Branaman who combined for 10 kills. Kristen Allen added 18 assists along with five aces and Courtney Mayo contributed 3 blocks and five aces.

The regular volleyball season concludes this week for Gadsden County FHSAA member schools and next week district tournaments begin.

The Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe Day School overcame a host of difficulties en route to a 14-8 victory in Palatka on Friday night, their second of the season. A 4-hour bus trip, heavy rains and turnovers combined with a determined Peniel Baptist Academy to make for a hard-fought win.

East Gadsden High School’s Jaguars couldn’t have asked for a better homecoming night – brisk, chilly air, royalty crowned and a victory over FAMU High.

The final score was 21-6, with the Jags taking their first win of the regular season and amping their record to 2-5 overall.

But the win didn’t come without trouble. Early on in the second quarter, running back Montez Fryson suffered a knee injury, taking him out for the rest of the game. Prior to the injury, Fryson had racked up 60 yards rushing and a TD.

West Gadsden’s Panthers faced an undefeated Port St. Joe team Friday night, and at the final buzzer, the Tiger Sharks remained undefeated. The Sharks took the win 15-6.

The win came despite the Sharks’ worst offensive performance of the year. The Sharks turned the ball over four times in the first half, and tallied 81 yards in penalties. The team remains 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the district.
